Opitz-Kaveggia syndrome/FG syndrome
Inheritance patterns and prenatal diagnosis
Inheritance patterns
X-chromosome linked but it is likely that there is more than one FG syndrome gene on the X-chromosome.
Prenatal diagnosis
This will be possible by DNA testing if the Opitz-Kaveggia/FG syndrome
gene mutation has already been identified in an affected relative.
Otherwise, an affected fetus might be identified in mid-pregnancy
through identification by a detailed ultrasound examination of a
particular pattern of abnormalities including a corpus callosum
(structure in the brain) abnormality.
